Why Choose the Mersen ATQ20 Time-Delay Fuse?
The Mersen ATQ20 is a dependable 20 A time-delay midget fuse designed to provide supplementary overcurrent protection for industrial control circuits and electrical equipment. Part of the trusted Mersen Amp-Trap® ATQ series, it is ideal for protecting transformers, motors, solenoids and lighting circuits where temporary inrush currents are expected during normal operation.
Its time-delay operating characteristic allows the fuse to tolerate brief start-up current surges without nuisance operation while providing effective protection against sustained overloads and short-circuit faults. This helps maximise equipment uptime while protecting valuable electrical components.
With a rated current of 20 A and a maximum operating voltage of 500 V AC, the ATQ20 is suitable for industrial control panels, machinery and commercial electrical installations. Its industry-standard 10 × 38 mm midget format allows straightforward installation in compatible fuse holders.
